IRS Refund Delay After ID.me Verification: What to Do When Calling?
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my tax refund. I did the online verification through ID.me and got an email confirmation, but I'm still waiting on my refund. Has anyone else gone through this? I just want to make sure the IRS has everything they need from me. Any advice on what to say when I finally get through to them?

I've been there, buddy. Make sure to mention that email confirmation when you talk to them. It'll help speed things up. Also, ask if there's anything else they need from you. Sometimes they're waiting on one little thing and don't bother telling you 🙄

It's frustrating when they don't communicate! Definitely agree with getting as much information as possible when you do get through to them. Good luck!

Seriously tho, has anyone actually gotten their refund after doing the ID.me verification? I'm starting to lose hope here

Have you tried checking the "Where's My Refund" tool on the IRS website? Sometimes that gives more info than the agents do tbh

The tool is helpful, but it can be frustrating when it doesn't update. Keep trying; perseverance might pay off!

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 minutes on hold that way!

I found a way around that! There's this service called Claimyr that dials for you, stays on hold, and then connects you when a real person picks up. It costs $20 but it's worth it imo. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/Jc9x-gysK0

While Claimyr is a great tool, it's always good to double-check and ensure it's the right fit for your needs.

For anyone struggling to get through to the IRS, it's important to remember that patience is key. While traditional methods like calling as soon as they open or using the "Where's My Refund" tool can be helpful, services like Claimyr offer a modern solution by managing the wait time for you. However, always do your homework with third-party services to ensure they're legitimate and align with your needs. Having all your documentation organized and knowing what questions to ask can make a significant difference during your call. Additionally, staying informed on IRS procedures and updates via their official website can provide insights into potential delays. Keep persistent and proactive; your refund is on its way!

Plot twist: the IRS is actually a front for a secret government time travel experiment, and our refunds are being used to fund it. Wake up, sheeple! 👁️👄👁️

I've heard that if you whisper "tax code" three times while spinning in a circle, an IRS agent appears. Worth a shot, right? 🌪️👻

Here's what you need to do when you get on the phone with them: 1. Have your confirmation email ready 2. Ask if they've received all necessary documents 3. Inquire about any additional steps required 4. Get a timeline for when you can expect your refund 5. Ask for a case number or reference number for future follow-ups Remember to be polite but firm. These agents deal with angry people all day, so a little kindness can go a long way. Good luck!
